He won by people not listening to this channel.

How many times until politicians learn: if you spent the entire campaign period attacking your opponent instead of saying what's actually good about your side, you will lose.

[alanmckay]

I thought the BBC would be forced to take a day off today to deal with their trauma.

The BBC still burdened by what has been.

Damn it's been a long two months for BBC from losing hassan nasrallah, yahya sinwar to seeing trump, trumping kamala damn tuff

[captainjoejoe]

I am particularly looking forward to UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy follow up on his 2017 threat to "be out protesting on the streets" if Donald Trump comes to the UK. That`s going to be a great look for Starmers government.
